The New York Times blames 'misogynistic' fans for Supergirl's box office disaster

The New York Times has faced backlash after suggesting “misogyny” helped drive Supergirl’s disappointing box office debut. The article argued female-led superhero films have struggled as parts of the largely male fan base grow more hostile. "Female-led superhero movies have been rejected almost uniformly over the past five years or so, perhaps reflecting a resurgent misogyny among the core fan base, which is largely male," The Times’ chief Hollywood correspondent Brooks Barnes wrote. Critics instead pointed to the film's weak reviews, costly production and divisive promotional campaign. Star Milly Alcock also drew attention before release with comments about men and the film's lack of a male focus.
